Array ( [sid] => 33770 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Vicious Cycle [time] => 2004-02-04 03:25:22 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Every time he raises his hand
I don’t think he really understands.
What it does to someone.
You are never the same once it has begun.
You are filled with pain and shame,
And you alone shoulder the blame.
You shouldn’t have made him upset
And after he says he’s full of regret
Until next time he can’t control his rage
And you feel like you’re trapt in a cage
You believe all of the awful names he calls you
And that is what he wants you to do
As time goes by
Slowly inside you start to die
He keeps you a prisoner with your mind
That’s why he is so unkind
Nobody else will want you or you’re so stupid can’t you do anything right?
I can’t stand to look at you , get out of my site
So you cry at night when you think no one can hear
Just wanting to have someone near
You can’t have friends or be close to your family
He wants you as alone as you can be
Soon you are alone and you didn’t even realize it
And now there is no one to tell when you get hit
He has you all to himself just as he planned
And you have time for his every command
But he’s the one who gives you what you need
You can’t leave now you have kids to feed
So now you see the vicious cycle of abuse
So don’t let him do it there is no excuse
Don’t listen to his lies
Take a lesson from the wise
You are beautiful inside and out
Don’t let him fill you with pain and doubt
Be strong
The road without him may be long
But at least you can be you
And you can do what you want to do
Yes, I know it is easier said than done
Because right now I am trying to convince myself to run
But I look my 2 boys in the face
And I know I can’t erase
The things they have heard and seen.
I don’t want to believe they could ever be so mean
Although I can see how me staying has already affected their lives
I just couldn’t stand it if they grew up to abuse their wives
And now, because I was afraid
Two more abusive men I have made

so sad.
but u know u have 2 get a way as u have children to think about. they have shelters to help u get aw ay and be safe. I've been down that road before. he never harmed me phycical per sae but he certainly tore me down emotionally. I went to a shelter and broke free. I still had twi kids at home and one married. Now they r all grown and I raised um alone with God and my mom, (my guardian angel) now deceased while they were very young but God, my angels and my children got us thru.
Prayers, luv, hugss, strength, confidence,
emy
